About Verb's Marking by the Preposition 於 yu2
标记动词的介词 "於"

Abstract 摘要
In this paper, the irregular occurrence of 於 yu2 which introduces a noun will be examined: for the same verb, 於 yu2 is sometimes present and at other times is absent without modifying the meaning of the sentence. A comparison on two levels will be made. First, the same verb which sometimes use 於 yu2, and sometimes do not use it in the 战国纵横家书 Zhan4guo2 Zong4heng2 Jia1shu1 (ZZJ), will be studied. Second, a comparison of these verbs in the ZZJ with those in the other two transmitted versions (the 史記 Shi3ji4 and 战国策 Zhan4guo2ce4) will be made in order to understand the irregular occurrence of 於 yu2. The behavior of verbs in the ZZJ suggests to us that the late period of the Warring States (475-221 BC) was a period of transition: on one hand, the syntactic position of verbs was not stable; it vacillated between the transitive use, intransitive use (with the help of 於 yu2), or causative use, and on the other hand, syntactic devices were arising and the word order was reorganizing itself because of the movement of some prepositions. The ZZJ provides just one significant sample of this transition.

文章试图研究“于”带名词词组的不规则表现。在某些情况下，“于”可出现也可以不出现，而句子意义不变。我们在两个层次上进行了比较：首先研究在出土文献《战国纵横家书》里，同一动词有时用“于”有时不用的情形，然后比较这些动词在《战国纵横家书》及其相应的传世文献《史记》及《战国策》里的表现以便弄清“于“的出现为什么不规则。《战国纵横家书》里这些动词的表现使我们认为战国后期（乃至西汉）是一个过渡阶段，一方面，有些动词的句法形式尚未固定，它们摇摆于及物用法，不及物用法（用“于”引宾）和使动用法之间，另一方面，句法手段正在兴起，由于某些介词的变动，句子各成分也在进行调整。《战国纵横家书》为我们提供了这一过渡阶段的有意义的例证。
